I want to get a cheap QD as I use a lot of it. I have ONR but read it does not have the lubricity common of most QDs and is not good as a QD at the specified dilution ratio. UWW+ is good but not cheap though it is on sale right now.

Does anyone use Meguiar's D114 as a QD? If so at what dilution and is there the slickiness and lubricity that one expects from a QD?
 
Does Bob ever get tired of praising D114? We'll find out soon...

Yep, it's Excellent.

For "Light" Cleaning: 1:256... this is Clay Lube strength also.

For anything over "Light": 1:128 . I found @ this ratio, it's a bit "grabby" with the initial wipe but very slick after the "Final" wipe.

hope it helps
 
Thanks for the response.

Just another thought, if using as a QD, would D114 or D115 be better?
 
Depends if you want protection left behind. D115 will leave behind some wax whereas D114 will leave nothing behind.

(Sorry for the delay)

To date:
A considerable body of evidence has been presented
that shows Meguiar's D114 has a substantial degree
of longitudinal, as well as cross-situational consistency.

WHAT!
 
You can use it as a QD but don't expect it to enhance gloss. Other than that it will meet just about every expectation you can imagine. Solid product.
 
D114 has been a wonderful product for me ;)

Quick detailer
Waterless wash
Rinseless wash
Maintenance for Interior
Window cleaner
Panel wipe
Microfibers presoak
House hold stuff
Light stain on jeans

I just purchased D114 for winter.
I just clayed, cleaned an sealed the paint.

Will D114 strip wax? Do I need to reapply wax or sealant after d114?

If you use it at a strong enough dilution it can. If it's used as directed it's fine.
 
So 1:128 is good to use as quick detailer. 1:128 is also the dilution ratio for waterless wash isn't it? So essentially when you quick detail it using that ratio, you are doing a waterless wash? Same thing different terms?

When Dr. Bob speaks, people listen. He gives some of the best answers! :-)



Now onto the question, Mask had a great list and I'll just add a few things. D114 can be used as a clay lubricant, it's great for interiors, and it can be used after compound/polish or wax to remove remaining residue and dust.

Hope this helps!
